Man's best friend's best friend

There's Michael Vick and then there's the famously stingy late hotelier Leona Helmsley, who bequeathed a $12 million trust fund to her dog.

Named Trouble, the Maltese also will be buried alongside Helmsley, when the doggie's time comes.

Helmsley grandkids, by the way, got zilch from the billionaire's estate.

Jaycee:
As you could expect, I am going to delete that comment. Behave.

Actually, 2 of her 4 grandkids got nothing and the other 2 got $5M. There's more to that story.

So we hate people who abuse dogs and we hate people who pamper them. What's a dog owner to do?

Or do we just hate people who have money?

Allen Johnson said:

Who says anyone hates anybody, although Helmsley wasn't known for being all that benevolent to humans during her life? I'll admit, however, that I am slightly envious of that lucky Maltese.
